Are my shrooms over done

I’ve just come back from holiday and I (stupidly) left someone to look after my grow kit while they were on the 4th flush. I came back to a complete mess and I’m just wondering if they are still any good, the veils had completely opened and most of the shrooms are now black and some are slimey, there are a few that are still cream coloured but may just throw them all away. What do you guys think? Struggling to upload pics at the moment but will try again soon

Personally I'd throw out the black ones, but unless they're rotting or dried out, they should be fine to eat, the spores just make them taste like shit. Not worth it to me.

I was going to use an alcohol extraction method so not bothered about the taste, just wondering if they are still high in psilocybin. Also concerned they may be ‘off’ and could make me sick

It Would Be Helpful If You Uploaded A Picture. Unless They Are Moldy They Are Fine, They Have Just Matured & Dropped Spores. They Still Contain Psilocybin.

They are mazatapecs, the first 3 flushes produced fairly small golden brown shrooms but these are way over done, some are a little slimy which I may throw away but I’ll probably salvage some. The cakes have shrivelled up and gone black so they’ll go in the bin too. Just a bit pissed because this looks like it was the best flush of them all and probably could have got another flush out of them if this didn’t happen 😒

your good op
If they are slimey thats not to good. But they are black because of spore deposits.

It's just spores. Wash them off the sub soak and go for another flush. Any mushrooms that are slimey you should brew into tea then freeze and use at your own convenience. The rest just dry like the spores aren't there.

surely you had lost some potency but I think that they 're still active, put tem in the dehydrator as soon as you can.
this is a useful link for you :

The first pic is of the sub, it’s black and mouldy. You think I’ll get another flush from them?

I’ve washed them and put them on a drying rack with a fan directly on them. They actually look ok in the pic but some are quite soft and sticky, I threw away the black slimy ones. As long as no one tells me not to eat them as they will make me sick then I’ll put them in with the others that a grew and perform the alcohol extraction. Thanks for the info everyone

for teh future I highly advice you a dehydrator it's cheap and is far better than the fan method that you're using plus is faster

I don't see any mold. Only spores. You were supposed to wash the sub not the fruits lol.

I read on another thread that you can run the fruits under the tap and lightly rub off the spores, so I did that and now they are drying. The subs are soaking over night and I will gently clean them once they are done with soaking and see if I get another flush.
